Ergonomic guidelines
The recommended screen positioning is based upon the following guildelines. These guidelines
are based on available scientific literature and published standards.
Screen height
The recommended screen height for displays (except in special circumstances, such as for bifocal
use) is that the top of the display should be set at or slightly below (about 1 inch or 25 mm) your
eye level while you are sitting in a comfortable working posture. This guideline places the center
of the screen at an ideal 15° to 20° viewing angle for most desktop displays. If the display has
multiple users, the screen height should be easily adjustable to accommodate each user’s height
and preference.
Screen tilt
The screen should be tilted so your line of sight is perpendicular to the screen. This angle creates
the most consistent viewing distance when scanning from the top of the screen to the bottom.
You may need to adjust lighting to avoid screen glare when the screen is tilted upward.
Screen distance from user
The screen should first be placed at arm’s length from the user, then adjusted back and forth to
suit individual preference.

Changing Windows screen settings
Adjusting the color depth and screen area are two of the most basic display settings you may need
to change. You can also adjust settings such as the screen background and screen saver.
Changing color depth and screen resolution
Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic monitor settings you may need to
change to suit your needs.
Color depth is the number of colors your computer uses to display images on your monitor. Most
images look best displayed with the maximum number of colors available. If the color in your
images seems “false” or “jumpy,” especially after you have played a game or run a video-intensive
program, check the color depth setting and return it to the highest color setting, if necessary.
Screen resolution is the number of pixels (individual colored dots) your computer uses to display
images on your monitor. The higher the resolution, the more information and screen components
(such as icons and menu bars) can be displayed on the monitor.

General
I have the monitor connected to my notebook’s VGA port and I see no image on the screen.
You have two options:
•
If your notebook supports dual displays, you can use both your notebook’s display and
this monitor in extended desktop multi-monitor mode. See Windows Help to learn how
to enable multiple monitors.
•
You can also use this monitor as your primary monitor and not use the notebook’s
screen. Notebook computers typically have an FN key combination that lets you toggle
between your notebook’s display and an externally attached display. On Gateway
notebooks, this key combination is FN+F4. The F4 key is located along the top row of
keys. See your notebook user guide for more information.

How To
Setup
Why does the image looks stretched or fuzzy when I connect the monitor to my computer?
You must adjust the operating system’s display settings to match the monitor’s optimal (native)
1600× 900 setting. For information on adjusting settings in Windows Vista, see “Changing color
I do not see 1600 × 900 available in the Windows display control panel.
•
•
Make sure that your video card can display at 1600 × 900 resolution.
This may be caused by older video drivers on your computer. See the Gateway support Web
site (support.gateway.com) for updated video drivers for your computer. You can also go
directly to your video card’s support Web site for the most up-to-date video drivers. The Web
sites for the major video card manufacturers are:
ATI®: http://ati.amd.com
Intel®: http://www.intel.com
Nvidia®: http://www.nvidia.com
When I run my games, I do not see support for widescreen displays. What can I do?
Newer games are adding support for widescreen displays as the widescreen format becomes more
popular. Check the game’s Web site for updates. You can also consult the following Web site for
specific settings and options to configure older games to support widescreen:
Some adjustments may require you to make changes to the Windows System Registry. We
recommend making a complete system backup before changing the System Registry.
Technical
Why do I see “noise” or “trash” on the screen?
When your display’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is increased
(up-converted) to match the display capabilities. Up-converting can cause “noise” or “trash.” The
signal on DVI-D is HDCP encoded. Stop and restart the source to allow renegotiation.
What is HDCP and how do I troubleshoot it?
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a specification developed by the Intel®
Corporation to protect digital entertainment content that uses a digital visual interface (DVI).
HDCP encrypts the transmission of digital content (signal) between the video source (computer,
DVD player, or set-top box) and the digital display (monitor, digital television/DTV, or projector).
HDCP is not designed to prevent copying or recording of digital content, but only to protect the
integrity of the content as transmitted.
How does HDCP work?
Implementation of HDCP requires a license obtainable from the Digital Content Protection, LLC,
which then issues a set of unique secret device keys to all authorized devices. During authentication,
the receiving device only accepts content after it acknowledges the keys. To further prevent stealing
of the data or line tapping, the transmitter and receiver generate a shared secret value that is
constantly checked throughout the transmission. After authentication is established, the
transmitter encrypts the data and sends it to the receiver for decryption.
What happens if I lose signal to the display while watching a movie on a HDCP-equipped
component?
The component must be restarted to establish renegotiation.
13
CHAPTER 1: Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor
For example, while watching a movie on a HDCP-enabled DVD player, you change the receiving
device (DTV, monitor, or projector) input to watch broadcast TV, then change the input back to watch
the DVD movie. However, you are unable to watch the movie. This is because when the input was
changed, the receiver lost the HDCP signal. Restart the HDCP-enabled DVD player to allow
renegotiation.
What is the cause if a movie starts and then slowly fades to static?
The receiving device is not HDCP compatible or it is not negotiating correctly. Restart the video
source and re-plug all video cables from the source to the TV.
How do I know if a component is HDCP compliant?
If the video source device does not have a DVI or HDMI connection, it is not HDCP compliant.
